I would not recommend this course to anybody. The facilities available are wonderful, however you rarely get a chance to use them. The lecturers are rude and don't provide much in terms of teaching, they offer vague feedback and differing opinions. Organisation is hideous, expect everything to be harder and more confusing than it should be. Communication between tutors, techs and students is absolutely appalling. The technical staff however are fantastic, but they are definitely underpaid for the amount of work they have to do. There's a high staff turnover. You are "challenged" but the tutors, and sometimes (most the time) it's too much! You are left totally lost with no idea what your practice is, what to do next or what art even is. The tutors just standby and watch without offering any help. It's like they want to cause breakdowns. If you have any preexisting mental health conditions please do not go here. This course will just exacerbate it all. read more
